Hero Initiative’s Jim McLauchlin has gotten word that Gene Colan has been hospitalized.

From Gene Colan’s wife, Adrienne:

All is looking okay, and best guess is that Gene might be laid up in hospital for a few days. In fact, steady improvement could get him home by late Wednesday-early Thursday. He has pneumonia in his right lung behind his heart, and possibility of infection of some fluids. Some Encephalopathy-related difficulties may be going on, too.
